Cinderella, by the Dj Kutone
"Cinderella" is a heartfelt birthday dedication from Al Kutone, also known as "the Dj Kutone", to Jennifer, Al's beloved wife. This romantic track features an instrumental produced and performed by Al Kutone, with lyrics co-written by DeepAI, Al Kutone, and ChatGPT, and a vocal performance "rendered" by QuackMaster via Uberduck. The song captures a love story that feels like a fairytale come to life—one of fate, resilience, and enduring romance.
Inspired by Jennifer's real-life "Cinderella" story, the lyrics reflect her journey of overcoming adversity and finding her happily ever after. Like Cinderella, Jennifer grew up facing hardship and abuse under a wicked stepmother and two spoiled half-sisters. The song tells of her strength and Al's deep love for her, as well as the serendipitous events that brought them together.
The couple's love story took a magical turn at an underground dance party (a "rave") thrown by Wicked on a beach in Bonny Done, CA, in the early '90s. Jennifer lost a bracelet at the party, and Al found it buried in the sand. Despite numerous attempts to give it away over the years, the bracelet always seemed to find its way back to him. Twenty-five years later, Al reunited the bracelet with its true owner when he met Jennifer—13 years ago this Halloween. The bracelet, which had her parents' initials carved on the back, became a symbol of their destiny. They've been inseparable since and were married that December.
The lyrics of "Cinderella" express Al's unwavering love and admiration for Jennifer, celebrating her as his guiding star and the rhythm of his life. The song's verses blend humor, intimacy, and devotion, capturing moments of everyday life, past challenges, and their unbreakable bond. The couple's shared journey through love, magick, and even "Kung Fu" comes to life in this touching tribute.
